If so, I would love to have a discussion on your approach.

This seems like the best approach for example a condo/townhome in FL because you can find low purchase prices, as in a comparable growth market like the Carolinas or TX.Does anyone have experience with starting out in short term rentals like this vs.

@Justin R. there is focus on sprawl and in-fill building...nothing in this city will ever crest 40-50 stories I can guarantee every new development is mixed use...and developers are reclaiming thousands of acres of corn field for ****** one-off residential developments for the lamest buyers in the market to call home...multi-prong approach of intentional underbuilding and constant fights with the locals who want neighborhoods to stay stagnant.

Most lenders take a cost approach if you are trying to refinance prior to owning the property for 6 months.

Please reposition your approach and maybe reach back out again in a way that isn't ...

I am still in year 1 as a new landlord and as I look to expand my portfolio wanted to get a sense of how people approach this issue. 

Anyone else have success/regrets with this approach?

@Crystal Smith - These details are very helpful and your approach makes a lot of sense.

If you plan to hold on to them for a number of years, the blanket loan approach may be worth considering.  

I've had agents approach me with totally wrong numbers in their comps and then I question them on it and they don't have an answer.
